Van Zant has so far never failed to make back his points for me, when his other airborne ranger buddies show up and bring whatever special weapons they have(Molotok in enemy deployment zone?) I can see him being very frustrating.

Hello. You can jump directly into the enemy deployment area. That is correct and legal if you succeed. But if you fail and scatter into the enemy deployment zone, then the figure must be relocated into your deployment area, because it has failed. I hope this message was helpful for you.

Mmm… What about using this skill to drop directly in the enemy deployment zone? This is really terrifying and can put your opponent on the backfoot, forcing him to deal with a threat he didn’t plan while you cross the board with your other troopers.

The language in the English rulebook suggests that Van Zant (AD Level X) cannot bring Paratroopers with him into the enemy deployment zone, but must deploy on the edge chosen for the Paratroopers:

“AD: Tactical Jump and Coordinated Orders Troopers with AD: Tactical Jump may participate in a Coordinated Order with troopers with Levels 1 or 2 of Airborne Deployment. However, in that case, the AD: Tactical Jump trooper must enter the battlefield through the same segment chosen for the rest of participants.”

It could instead read something like this:

“Troopers with Levels 1 or 2 of Airborne Deployment may participate in a Coordinated Order with troopers with AD: Tactical Jump. However, in that case, the Levels 1 or 2 Airborne Deployment troopers must enter the battlefield through the same segment chosen for the AD: Tactical Jump troopers.”

Rather late to this article, but I’ve seen this confusing players in the Infinity forums.
